The host community youths, zaakpo youth association, alleged that Dr Georgewill abuse his office, extort monies from students, encourage illegality, sales polytechnic properties, misappropriation and embezzlement of the polytechnic fund. The Government of Rivers state investigation on the matter led to his removal and the deputy Rector automatically became the acting Rector on the 9th December, 2019.

Just a month's and few weeks in office the acting Rector has distinguished himself by his leadership skills. No wounder they said when the righteous rules the people rejoice.

The right to disagree with some management policies are also an integral aspects of academic freedom. Student also have rights to join lawful association on campus.
However, we award certificate in character and learning. You must have an attitudinal change as students of this institution. You can confide in me. Report any sexual harassment in the institution.

They visit lecturers offices. Desist from this act.
The polytechnic will only accept class representative to mediate between lecturers and students. You have no business to do in your lecturer office or house.
